non-binary
Sign in to saveNon-binary (also written as nonbinary) or genderqueer gender identities are those that are outside the male/female gender binary. Non-binary identities often fall under the transgender umbrella since non-binary people typically identify with a gender that is different from the sex assigned to them at birth, although some non-binary people do not consider themselves transgender.
AI overview
Non-binary refers to gender identities that fall outside the traditional categories of exclusively male or female, and people with these identities often experience a gender different from the sex they were assigned at birth. It matters because it represents how some people understand and express their gender in ways that don't fit conventional binary classifications, and understanding this helps recognize the diversity of human gender identity.

Non-binary (also written as nonbinary) or genderqueer gender identities are those that are outside the male/female gender binary. Non-binary identities often fall under the transgender umbrella since non-binary people typically identify with a gender that is different from the sex assigned to them at birth, although some non-binary people do not consider themselves transgender.
Non-binary people may identify as an intermediate or separate third gender, identify with more than one gender or no gender, or have a fluctuating gender identity. Gender identity is separate from sexual or romantic orientation; non-binary people have various sexual orientations.
